We Never Met Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

I never met you in a poem.
Your life, laughter and fun
Were words unknown to me
As you passed and
Your spirit flew away.
I met you first
In the brokenness of those
Who love
And hold you
In their dreams
And memories.
I met you today in that
Place in their hearts
Where God
Hears their prayers;
Wraps them in the
Same warm blanket
That took you home.
I only just met you,
But we will meet
Face to face some day
In another place,
Where the light
Of a very great love
Will restore all
That has been lost.
